User Reviews

User reviews for Pantagraph's iOS app skew negative overall. Some users note good local news coverage and timely updates, but the dominant complaints center on the update flow (frequently prompting for reviews rather than updating), subscription billing and login annoyances, app reliability issues (crashes, blackouts, lost saved content), intrusive ads and popups, and poor content presentation (duplicated articles, oversized images, small text). These recurring issues undermine usability and value, despite occasional praise for local coverage.

Pros

Good local news coverage, with some praise for ISU coverage.
App described as timely by some users.
Positive sentiment such as '❤️ IT!!' from a subset of users.

Cons

Frequent update prompts that redirect to leaving a review instead of updating the app.
Paywall and subscription issues, including unexpected renewals and login/sign-in prompts.
Reliability problems: crashes, blackouts, videos/ads loading, and saved articles disappearing.
Intrusive ads and popups, including ad redirects and 'you’ve won' scam prompts.
Content/UX issues: repeated articles, oversized photos, small fonts, and overall difficult navigation.
